Hey chicks,
A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Nikki at a Diva Girl event where we were both presenting. The moment I met her it I knew she was someone I wanted in my circle. She is smart, funny, honest and a true leader in her field. I began to follow her on social media instantly as I wanted to know what was happening in her world but also pick up on some of her awesome tips she always seemed to share. Fast forward a few years later and here is Nikki, honest and open sharing her struggles with infertility as well as her IVF treatment. At this time I was not thinking of a second baby as I had a newborn at home. It wasn’t until recently, after a year of trying to conceive that I thought to reach out to her to hear more about her story and ask if we could share this on our podcast. I had a lot of questions, I wasn’t really sure of the process of IVF or even any fertility treatments.I felt like having someone share their side of the story, struggles and be truly open about the experience helped me so it surely will help other women to understand the entire process a little more.
While I have not decided to go the route of IVF at this time, hearing her story has helped me to understand what is also possible should I go that route.
Thank you Nikki for sharing and being so awesome and honest with your story.
